Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 803 - 565: Mission

[However, despite having so many drawbacks, it still cannot hide its greatest advantage.

That is... it's delicious!]

Is that all?

Li Zheng was waiting for the Prelis' Eye to turn the page, but he only got this piece of text, making his mental state a bit shattered.

What's the use of being delicious?

No matter how delicious it is, if it's not cost-effective, it won't work...

Li Zheng didn't even want to ask how much this egg cost, fearing he couldn't handle the harsh reality.

"Your expression... Is there something wrong with this egg?" Mirel saw Li Zheng's face changing unpredictably and asked cautiously.

Li Zheng shook his head: "Forget it, it's bought anyway, even if there are issues, I have to accept it."

Now, he can only hope this so-called Colorful Patterned Egg is truly as delicious as old Prel said, worthy of the White Crystal Coins Mirel spent.

"What else did you buy?" Li Zheng rubbed his forehead: "Bring everything out for me to take a look."

"Other things..."

Mirel showed a shy demeanor for the first time, opening the last two bags with some foreign writing on the surface, and took out two sets of women's clothing: "I bought two sets of changeable clothes."

"Oh, that's fine..." Li Zheng nodded instinctively, then froze.

He stared at Mirel for a while, suddenly realizing a detail he hadn't considered before.

"It seems like... you don't need clothes, right?"

The Enchanting Demon Race has dense black hair covering key parts of their bodies, exuding a wild alluring charm.

In a way, Enchanting Demons don't need clothes because their hair is enough to cover modesty.

"I..." Mirel blushed slightly: "I am also a girl, isn't it normal to have some love for beauty?"

Reasonable and well-founded, can't really argue with that?

Li Zheng had three black lines appear on his forehead: "Then what did you mean when you said both of us could use what you bought?"

Is this girl secretly planning something bad, hoping to make him wear women's clothing?

But in reality, he was overthinking.

Mirel turned her head away, whispering: "When I wear pretty clothes, isn't it also for you to see..."

"For me to see?" Li Zheng savored these words, nodding slightly: "That's more like it."

He didn't think much of it, after all, Mirel, as his 'pet,' spends a lot of time with him, and whatever clothes she wears, he would be the one seeing them the most...

Mirel certainly can't constantly carry a full-length mirror to admire the pretty clothes she wears, can she?

Bang!

Li Zheng waved his hand, and a stove appeared in the middle of the road. He said to Mirel: "It's about time for dinner, you handle the cooking, I'll keep watching the teleportation gate; the terminal has already warned me, claiming I'm slacking off."

He waved the temporary public office certificate in his hand, with red lights flashing, which is a sign of a warning for slacking off.

Mirel rolled her eyes in a beautiful motion, casually tossing the two clothing sets to Li Zheng: "Take care of them for me. What do you want to eat tonight? Take out the ingredients too."

Li Zheng looked down at the clothes in his hands, only to find—

A whole set of three-point style black leather clothing. Looking at the fabric, the area it covers when worn is noticeably smaller than what Mirel's own hair can cover.

The other set...

"Don't wear this outside." Li Zheng's face turned slightly red: "This see-through lace is better suited as sleepwear."

"Speaking of..." He picked up a small piece of fabric and compared it to Mirel, full of confusion: "These clothes don't match your figure, clearly much larger. Did you buy the wrong size?"

"Didn't buy wrong!" Mirel jumped up, snatched the item, and crumpled it into a ball: "Just keep them safe for me, don't worry about anything else!"

This one really—can't she just prepare clothes for when she grows up?

It's worth noting that the hair on Enchanting Demons will shed a lot after they reach adulthood, leaving only some on the sides of the head and the tail base, so adult Enchanting Demons actually need some clothes for modesty purposes.

But Li Zheng didn't know this, nor would old Prel bore him with such information.

"Why are you angry now?" Li Zheng thoughtfully took care of the clothes, then took out some ingredients and handed them to Mirel, letting her manage dinner while he sat back on the chair, continuing to watch the barely-used teleportation gate.

For a while, Li Zheng even began to have doubts, unsure if these teleportation gates in the Outer City were necessary at all.

After watching for half a day, only three people used the teleportation gates in total.

And one of them was Zhan Zhouzhou returning from the Wilderness...

The utilization rate is truly so low that it could be completely abolished!

Yet even so, the terminal still doesn't lower its requirements for the receptionist guarding the teleportation gates. Even if no one uses it, the receptionist cannot have a moment's lapse.

Otherwise, there will be a warning.

If the receptionist ignores the warning, it will add to their record, leading to penalties when salaries are distributed.

Li Zheng hadn't been idle all afternoon—and after a few hours of research, he finally understood why Mo Li could endure such a tedious task.

The reason is simple; the salary is exceptionally generous!

How generous you ask?

Let's put it this way.

The monthly salary starts with Red Crystal Coins...

Or rather, it's not just the receptionist at the teleportation gates with such a generous salary, but all public servant positions in the Outer City have quite high salaries.

Otherwise, people couldn't be breaking their heads trying to snag a public office identity, nor would there be a grey market for acquiring a public office identity...

Li Zheng gazed at the teleportation gate in boredom, while Mirel cooked dinner on the street side, such a bizarre scene drew side glances from passing Outer City residents.

Especially those from the Law Enforcement Team, they were tempted to stop this behavior several times, enticed by the aroma of the food hovering away.

But ultimately, they refrained from doing so.

Because Li Zheng now represents Mo Li, and behind Mo Li stands the renowned Blood Patterned Black Dragon race!

With the mindset of avoiding unnecessary troubles, the Law Enforcement Team members finally decided...

Let it be!

All they're doing is cooking a meal on the street, as long as he doesn't harbor any thoughts of operating a roadside stall, they can pretend they didn't see it.

Street-stall operations are strictly prohibited in the Outer City, and the responsibilities of the Law Enforcement Team include intervening to prevent 'stalls' that could affect the city's appearance.

Every time a new batch of players arrives, the Law Enforcement Team has to hustle, mostly spending time driving away those stall operators.

That's why the Law Enforcement Team's presence occasionally appears near the teleportation gates.

In contrast, the Law Enforcement Team prefers playing tricks with those vendors, because catching one allows them to confiscate all items from the stall under the violation of Outer City security management ordinance.

But as for those more serious and crazier matters like fighting, brawling, or murder, few are willing to go all out to manage them.

Unless there's enough lucrative interests to drive them, they'll take their duties seriously.

Otherwise, they'll just make a show, something that looks reasonable on the terminal, and who cares who the real culprits are?

The so-called blade has no eyes—if they died in the line of duty, would it be worth it?

Expecting those veteran players surviving in the Outer City to have dedication to sacrifice their life or selflessness is foolish—those with such outlooks wouldn't survive until the next round of players arrive.

"Li Zheng!"

Just as Mirel finished handling dinner, preparing to eat with Li Zheng, Zhan Zhouzhou ran back from the distance, full of excitement: "Take a guess on what kind of mission I got!"
